#92765 — Bug#1137651: firmware-misc-nonfree: Please move firmware-intel-graphics and firmware-nvidia-graphics out of Recommends

Package: firmware-misc-nonfree
Version: 20260410-1
Severity: normal
User: devel@kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali

Dear Maintainer,

sometimes it is desirable to install firmware-misc-nonfree without
installing the BIG packages firmware-{intel,nvidia}-graphics.

Would it be possible to, maybe, move those 2 packages under
firmware-linux-nonfree (which is a pure metapackage)? There's already
firmware-amd-graphics there, so they'd be happy together.

For context, in the Kali Linux installer we pre-install
firmware-misc-nonfree, this is done via tasksel and there's no way to
disable recommends at this stage, so we have to remove those packages
afterwards, which works but it's a bit awkward.

Thanks,

Arnaud
